Dr. Virend Somers, is a Cardiologist from the Mayo Clinic, who is lead author of the report in the July 29, 2008 issue of
The Journal of the American College of Cardiology.
Most
heart attacks occur in the day, generally between 6 A.M. And noon.
Having one during the night, when the heart should be most at rest,
means that something unusual happened. Somers and his colleagues have
been working for a decade to show that sleep apnea is
To blame.
1. If you take an aspirin or a baby aspirin once a day, take it at night.
The
reason: Aspirin has a 24-hour "half-life"; therefore, if most heart
attacks happen in the wee hours of the morning, the Aspirin
would be strongest in your system.
2. FYI,
Aspirin lasts a really long time in your medicine chest
For years, (when it gets old, it smells like vinegar).
Please read on.
Something
that we can do to help ourselves - nice to know. Bayer is making
crystal aspirin to dissolve instantly on the tongue.
They work much faster than the tablets.
Why keep Aspirin by your bedside? It's about Heart Attacks -
There
are other symptoms of a heart attack, besides the pain on the left
arm. One must also be aware of an intense pain on the chin, as well as
nausea and lots of sweating; however, these symptoms may also occur
less frequently.
Note: There may be NO pain in the chest during a heart attack.
The
majority of people (about 60%) who
had a heart attack during their sleep did not wake up. However, if
it occurs, the chest pain may wake you up from your deep sleep.
If that happens, immediately dissolve two aspirins in your mouth
And swallow them with a bit of water.
Afterwards:
- Call 911.
- Phone a neighbor or a family member who lives very close by.
- Say "heart attack!"
- Say that you have taken 2 Aspirins.
- Take a seat on a chair or sofa near the front door, and wait for their arrival and
...DO NOT LIE DOWN!
